The bar isn't actually a progress bar, it just fills up while its waiting to connect, but if theres no connection then it can't find out whether the server is there or not, so it just waits continuously until the bar fills up.
I meant a while meaning a couple of weeks, sorry.

I think i might remake the game, the game was designed so that you needed to be online while other players were online. But that only happened rarely, so even if you go online you might only be able to battle NPC's (aka mudkip).
